— Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said he plans to resign in March, in the highest-level departure to date of a military or security official.
Israel’s top military chief announced that he will resign in March, marking the highest-level departure in response to the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, and coinciding with the start of a fragile ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza.
Mr.Herzi Halevi said in a statement that he arrived at the decision “by virtue of my recognition of my responsibility for the IDF’s failure on October 7th, and at a time when the IDF has significant achievements and is in the process of implementing the agreement to release our hostages,” referring to the start of the hostage release process Sunday.
“The Israeli military, under my command, failed its mission to protect the citizens of Israel,” wrote "Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi" in an official resignation letter to the prime minister and defense minister. “My responsibility in this terrible failure haunts me every day, every hour, and will do so for the rest of my life.”
